And Never Look Back

Our lives are often quite complex

regardless of our race or sex.

Sometimes in the arms of morpheus

i hear the songs of Orpheus.

My dreams are like an underworld

into which my wife was hurled.

It was there that i found her

circling my arms around her.

Since i cannot bring her back

dreams are the way i keep track.

Only in dreams can i keep

reasons for going to sleep.

But that is reason enough

for writing about this stuff.
